Best places: Nature preserves in Hazelwood, United States

😐 The trail is not maintained very well and there is no cave. Their is a cave but the entrance is located on private property which is misleading. I looked for it over the summer but was wasting my time. The area is full of old sink holes and one active one that is huge and deep. A old trail wraps...

👍👍 Very clean and quiet, and has beautiful scenery

👍👍 It was very nice walk. We saw two cranes and a few birds. Enjoy it quite a bit.

👍 Short trail with a notable elevation change. Really neat creek along the way.

👍 Recommend for basic sites. FREE. Get the map so you can decide where to stay. We stayed in area with pit toilet and about 7 camp pads for RV. There are other areas to stay in as well. We walked on road to trail but it was so overgrown with grass we decided against it due to ticks etc. quiet and woo...

👍 Doing the southernmost B access area makes for a long 6 mike hike when taking into account the elevation gain (over 900 feet). Bring water if it’s a hot day. Some of the trails can be very steep and rocky which make for some unsure footing. Grassy areas abound so ticks and chiggers can be heavy in s...

👍👍 Came out for a few hours of dove hunting today and they're running a no draw system for the hunts this year. Forms are in the box by the main office. Hunting was slow today but it's a great place to go, and seriously I love Missouri's department of conservation. Looking forward to some teal hunts so...

👍👍 Pretty neat place they have a pavilion bathroom's and well marked trails. Very clean nice place to walk and see some wildlife

👍👍 Excellent area for hiking. The three mile trail here is well marked and has a few trees down along the path. Nothing that you can't get past though. First portion of the trail to the left is an open Glade but around a half mile in it becomes woods for the majority of the trail. Beautiful views at th...

👍👍 Hidden gem in Forest Park. Trails are rarely crowded, and the ecological restoration has produced wonderful results. The wooded areas are full of native wildflowers in spring, and the savanna areas are full of native flowers in summer. Urban oasis of wildlife.

👍 A nice collection of trails crawling through the woods over a variety of small ridges and valleys. I was running, and the majority of the trails are open to horses, so be mindful of the leavings. Portions of the interior trail could probably stand to be rerouted to help with erosion control, but t...

👍👍 Nice place to go hiking near st. Louis. You will have to get off trail to see some special unique features. Also, close-by off the tracks down in St Albans is Tavern Rock cave. A shelter cave under the tracks that's worth the effort.

👍👍 This is hidden gem just for a walk and taste of nature. This is a unique preserve as it protects the Foglepole cave system underground; hence, it is a "subterranean" preserve. I had not heard of that before. Above ground there is prairie restoration in progress. All this is near the bluffs and Missi...

👍👍 Beautiful. Nice little lookouts/bench areas and plenty of trails. Well marked. Lots of wild life.

Nature preserve offering forests & grasslands, including a seasonal 90-acre hunting area.

👍 Trail looks like it gets overgrown pretty quickly in the summer. I did watch two ants carry a spider carcus for a good 5 minutes so that was pretty cool. Heard a lot of birds and geese in the pond. Will come back in the fall to check it out.

Expansive conservation area offering activities such as fishing, hiking, hunting & canoeing.
